How To Save Money on Back to School Shopping?

Back to school shopping can be comparable to Christmas shopping. Messy aisles, long lines, bare shelves and hordes of parents.

With 3 Children in school I have done it all.

What I have found works the best is to do the big items online ahead of time like backpacks at either amazon or at eBay. This will not only give you a chance to avoid the lines but also to give your child the variety so they don’t end up with the same backpack as 5 other kids in their class.

All the small stuff like pencils and paper can be bought for pennies on the dollar at one of your local office supply stores. I always check the ads online because they don’t always make it to my home. Don’t forget to change to your location once you click on the ad links I have provided for you.
